Fearing for the Future

before Donald Trump is behind bars? How many fucking things do we need to literally have piled up like the documents in his tacky ass fucking bathroom and in his tacky club on its tacky ass stage do we need to see before Donald Trump is behind bars? Well, the answer,

folks is it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we have Mount Everest on top of Mount Everest, on top of Mount Everest, it doesn't matter because Donald Trump is a wealthy, white, powerful man in America who has been spewing racism, who has been a national security threat since

he came down that fucking escalator. Donald Trump has been a menace to society ever since his daddy gave him a million dollars to start a business and then continue to bail his broke ass out every single time that he would need to, you know, apply for bankruptcy or file for bankruptcy. I am so tired. I'm tired of the breaking news alerts that tell me about, oh my god, breaking news. CNN has reported that bup, up, up, up, up, up, up up up about Donald Trump, and then they turn

around and they give this motherfucker primetime seating. I'm so tired of watching cable news networks make money, right and their ratings go through the ceiling when they want to do woldewall coverage on Donald Trump's fuckery but not explain that he is a danger to our democracy and a danger to society. Right. Like, I'm just so sick and fucking tired, and I know that if I am, that

you all are as well. I listen to the video, and the video is yet another admission, just like the find me eleven thousand votes though, just like the will you do me a favor? To Zelenski, just like, just like, just fucking like, Donald Trump is a serial criminal. He's a serial offender, and he's allowed to continue his crime spree because he is rich, because he is white, because he is male, and because he is powerful. That's it.

We don't need to go on and do one hundred dissertations and op eds and bullshit segments on you know, Merrick Garland, this or the other thing. They're all cut from the same goddamn cloth, the white male, rich, powerful cloth, and they will go to bat for each other, regardless of whether there is a D R and R after their name, and order to uphold the institution that allows them to have fucking power in the first place. That's what it is, right, So it's not about oh, when

will the right thing happen? Or justice? Justice is slow? No, justice is not slow. What supremacy is actually quite quick. There's another report this week talking about, oh, you know, on January sixth, Before January six all of our national intelligence agencies knew what was being organized happening in plain sight. They were even chattering about it the morning of January sixth. But guess what, they didn't do anything. So the media wants you to believe, Oh, there was a failure known

wasn't January sixth was successful. There wasn't a failure of our intelligence community. Whiteness does not police whiteness. That's not why those institutions exist, because you know, good fucking goddamn well, that they if they had gotten a hint of anyone, one person even having a pocket knife at a BLM rally, there would be police out in riot gear out in fucking Gi Joe's latest we saw that at every peaceful

BLM George Floyd rally. We have seen that everywhere everywhere, that black and brown people are organized and are linking arms to push back against injustice, to push back against public lynchings at the hands of pe and white vigilantes. We see what police look like put on January sixth, They were in fucking windbreakers, using little wired fences. Give

me a break. We look for any fucking excuse in the media, contort ourselves into all sorts of positions to come up with any other reason than the easiest fucking one. Why doesn't do dot dot happen? Whiteness, wealth power? Who's in charge? Why do we continue to see mass shootings on a regular basis. Why are ar fifteens bought at the rate that they are? Whiteness well, patriarchy, Why are we all going to end up, you know, destroying this planet.

Whiteness well patriarchy. We don't have to waste time searching for the answers when the answers are lying right in front of us. I'm tired of being fucking gaslit on a regular basis, aren't you. Every day they want to tell us that, like, oh, just this is gonna come and don't you worry, and you know the arc is bending and blah blah blah blah blah. And I look around and I'm like, are you all fucking dumb? Like stop trying to play me like I'm stupid. We know

what is happening. We know why nothing actually happens. We know why their homelessness is on the rise. We know why the wealthier becoming wealthier. We know why the Supreme Court has attacked women's rights and is going to undo affirmative action, and it's gonna undo every type of civil liberty that has been fought and won over the last six decades in this country. There is one reason, folks, and it is to reserve white supremacy. That is it.

It has always been about white power. You can't tell me anything because any issue you bring to me and I will bring you back to the route. But because we refuse right before, because we refuse to have real conversation, because we refuse to just acknowledge the fucking truth. We waste so much time and so much energy where we actually have the solutions because we know what the fucking problem is. The Supreme Court the other day deny water to tribal organizations. I mean, what you own water? You

fucking stole land. We're all living on stolen land. This country is such a fucking mind fuck on a regular basis. I understand why people want to tap out, because most days I want to tap the fuck out. By the time I'm finished and close my laptop, I'm like, I am done, and then have to build back the strength to continue to do this another day. And by do this, I don't mean podcasts. I mean just exist as a queer woman and black woman in this country. It's exhausting

because you're just lied to every single fucking day. Merrigarland is chicken shit. Merrick Garland gives a fuck more about preserving institution that is failing. He wants to preserve failure because he doesn't want to seem political. Shut the entire fuck up. Donald Trump should have never had the ability

to run for office again. Donald Trump should have been in fucking handcuffs the moment that he left the White House based on nothing else but the strength of the Mula report, because you knew that motherfucker committed crimes, and you knew good goddamn well that if it had been anybody else, without the covering, the covering of whiteness, and the covering of wealth, and the covering of the executive branch, they would have been in jail, just like all of

the fucking foot soldiers in January sixth that are getting twelve and a half years in prison. Donald Trump tweeted out the other day, Oh, I'm gonna pay for their legal fees, but you don't even pay for your own fe legal fees. Miss me with it. I get just so sick and tired of just the ropodope of it all, you know, just the you cut off one head, another

one rises. Let me give you another example. So the Washington Posts and others report Jesse Waters, a known misogynist who said that women can run for office or like as send to the presidency because they don't if they don't have children or are not married, because again that's you know where they find their worth. Right, So, Jesse Waters, this is what has been anointed the new Tucker Carlson right, So Bill O'Reilly gets fired, Tucker Carlson gets his shot.

Tucker Carlson gets fired, Jesse Waters gets his shot because you see, racism doesn't ever. It is like gremlins and you just pour water on them and they fucking multiply. So Jesse Water is in order to keep his spot and bring in the numbers at Tucker Carlson brought in, is gonna have to be even more vitriolic, even more disgusting,

in order to maintain the appearance. Right, So the Washington Post reports, Oh, Jesse warters elevation to primetime spot comes quote despite a history of statements that critics have called racist or xenophobic, Despite are you dumb? Jesse Water's got the job because he's racist and xenophobic. Jesse Waters is the new Tucker Carlson because he has been copycatting what every single other racist on Fox News has been doing.

It's not despite what do you think that they do like internal checks and they actually give a shit at Fox News, Like does anybody actually think that? But here you have another media outlet reporting on a media outlet saying, oh, it's despite the history of statements. No, the headline should have been like meet Fox's newest racist. It would have

been accurate. I'm just so tired of being played like I'm dumb, right, Like we don't see what is right before our eyes, we don't hear what is being said, Like, oh, the media can't say that something is racist, they have to say that it has racial tinges. The fuck does that mean? Seems discriminatory really, because you just gotta get on a mic and shot the N word, And even then you can make it up and say, oh, people

didn't know, they didn't know what they were saying. So in another place, right, in another land, there are some people who just don't mince words, right like Senator Rick Scott out of Florida, who made a video yesterday that it's now gone viral and gone around where he is quote warning socialists and communists not to travel to Florida. They are not welcome in the Sunshine State. This is what I quote tweeted on his stupid fucking video. That makes Ron de Santis look like a rock star in

terms of charisma. Is that, however, quote Nazis, proud boys, oathkeepers, and moms of liberty and all white supremacists are welcomed with open arms at civil Rights for the Department of Justice. Maybe look into a sitting senator spewing hate messages I don't know, said you're not welcome in the Sunshine State. First of all, the sun does not shine on your hate state. Right. I feel bad for the people that

are unable to flee that hate state. I feel bad for the people who don't have the means and are trans or are people of color and are forced to live under the DeSantis regime and then have this person, this trash as their senator. Can you imagine, and I don't even know why I say it, Oh, imagine if a person of color were to do whatever, they'd be dead. We can't actually imagine those things because it would never happen because our society is not built in that way. Right.

You would never see a sitting senator from New York or any other place that is quote unquote blue even saying something that could be very true. Hey, Nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, Islamophobes, you're not welcome in this state, right, because I would

love for that. I'm just like, everywhere you look, folks, everywhere you look, it is just another white supremacist saying all of the things that they think and feel with absolutely no pushback from the media, right, like, no actual Oh maybe this is a bad idea, Maybe we shouldn't do this. Maybe this looks like fascism for those of you who have been denied access to social studies and you know politics in school, like this is what this

looks like. Here's another thing, Ron DeSantis, you know, as he's on his President'll stump, trying to convince people that he's Donald Trump light, when in all actuality, his policies are worse than the ones that Donald Trump even instituted when he was President of the United States. Rond De Santis, according to the Miami Herald, said that he will end

birthright citizenship as president. DeSantis also said, and this is according to the Miami Herald, that border patrol agents should be able to quote respond with force if they catch drug smugglers attempting to sneak in the US. Quote if the cartels are cutting through the border wall trying to run product into this country, They're going to end up stone cold dead as a result of that bad decision.

And if you do that one time, you are not going to see them mess with our wall ever again, so essentially what Rond DeSantis has said is that everybody that is coming through or over or around the border wall is in fact rug smuggler and that the border patrols should have the right to just shoot and kill. That's what that is. Birthright citizenship. So does that only apply to people of Latin descent or is that black people too? Is that Asian Americans? Is that you know

everybody that is in white? And who gets to dictate that, oh, the President of the United States or Congress for that matter, and who gets to have to apply and what does that test look like? This is the fourteenth Amendment, folks. This is the constitution that these motherfuckers are telling you out loud that they no longer believe in. But mainstream media wants this continue to do this match up like twenty twenty four election is a normal fucking election. No,

it's not, actually right. It's an election between a vote between do you want American fascism or do you want to continue with the American democratic project? Do you want a country that has no social safety nets, no public education, no social security, no medicaid, no affirmative action, no abortion,

several of those things. We've already begun to lose. Do you want a country that gets progressively worse under the leadership of an autocrat or a theocrat, or do you want to preserve democracy and install people in our House and in our Senate and at the state and local levels that are actually going to not only uphold but fortify our democracy in the face of enemies that are

domestic and growing each and every fucking day. It is a wild thought to believe that America in three years, three years, folks will be celebrating or supposed to celebrate it's two hundred and fiftieth, right, Independence Day, two hundred and fifty years of American democracy, which is really bullshit, right, Like, let's all not get it twisted, right, Like we coming up on a holiday that they call the Fourth of July, they call America's independence and in the shadows of the

fireworks were enslaved and shackled human beings, so free for who. But what's crazy is that in three years or less than that, we we may not have a democracy to fucking celebrate. So wrap your mind around that, because that's real talk. It's crazy to me. And I said this, you know, yesterday on Mary Trump's show that it is hard for me to believe that I genuinely feel worse now than I did in twenty twenty than I did in twenty sixteen, because things have gotten progressively worse since

twenty fifteen. White domestic terrorism is on the rise, probably is at peaks that we have not seen since the nineteen fifties and sixties. You have an assault on our basic civil liberties at the hands of a grifting ass Supreme Court. Climate change is well out of control, and nobody want to do anything about it. Right. Women can't get abortions in more than half of the states in this country. You can barely vote in some of the red states in this country if you are not white.

And there are more guns than there are people. So when you really look at the picture of what a rapid decline we have had since twenty fifteen, it shocking, and I say that in a very real way that it is. It's hard to wrap your mind around that in eight years, in less than a decade, basic liberties have been run over. Communities like the LGBTQ plus community that had made extraordinary advances are barely holding on to

the right to exist. We have over five hundred anti LGBT laws that have been pushed out, over a hundred that have been passed and approved. I mean, it's so shocking.

And yet the wall to wall coverage that we see is of billionaires that decided that the one place that they hadn't yet conquered and trampled upon they wanted to go to, and then their submercial explodes, and oh the outpouring of empathy and the wall to wall coverage, because five billionaires are worth more than the seven hundred lives that were lost at sea of migrants fleeing countries that you know, we participated in the destruction thereof which had

them flee in the first fucking place. But those five billionaires alives clearly worth more than the hundreds that were lost at sea. When did we become so depraved? I really truly don't know, but I tell you that on this woke Wednesday, when I wrapped my mind around just how far this country has fallen in such a short time, I really do find myself right now fearing for the future. I really do, because I could have never imagined in

twenty fifteen that we would be here right now. I honestly could not So if you find yourself some days at a loss for words, just not wanting to get out of bed, just thoroughly exhausted and saying, but I got all of this sleep and I don't know what's wrong with me, know that you are not alone, because there are plenty of people that are here with you, Which is why I say, folks, double triple down on

self care. You cannot move through these times and this moment without doing so without eating well, nutritious, healthy green, without getting regular exercise, without meditation, movement, prayer, whatever it is that allows you to connect outside of yourself to something bigger. Folks, we cannot get through this without tools.

And so if you find yourself struggling in this moment because you are a part of one of the targeted communities or at the intersection of multiple communities being targeted all at the same time, I beg of you to do what is best for your mental health and emotional wellbeing and take care of yourself because your hopelessness is also a part of their plan and we cannot let

them win.
